My 11 week old kitten has gotten into the habit of getting really aggressive with herself, usually right before I turn off the lights at night. Her behavior is unprovoked, and normally lasts between 5 to 10 minutes even.
She starts by acting really annoyed at something. Then she'll began aggressively grooming her back and legs. After a while, she'll dash off madly, running around the house. When she sees her tail twitching and swishing from side to side, she'll attack it and let out a loud and low growl. She'll continue to be frustrated at chasing and attacking her own tail to the point where she'll hiss at it loudly! She'll twitch left and right, acting really aggressive as if something is really annoying and pestering her.
After a while, she'll calm down and crash. She'll go to sleep within seconds, panting from all the aggressiveness and breathing heavily.
I just don't get it. Her playtime usually lasts about 15 mins each session, at least three times a day. I have her run, chase, pounce, stalk, climb etc just o make sure she use up all her energy so she can have a good night sleep. She didn't start exhibiting this aggressiveness until about a week ago.
Any idea what is going on?
